Gated in the recent attack upon his life.
Beside those secretly hanged, whose num-
Der is not known, some 482 officers OF all
grades have been sent to Siberia. They
have just passed through Moscow on the
way to the Island of Sachalein, at the
mouth of the Amoor River, where only the
most dangerous malefactors are sent. 1t
is said that these officers were transported
for their share in plot which caused the
suicide of two Colonies and the disgrace
of Colonel SassOnVetch. The latter was in
command of the Grenadier Guards, and
he has just been ordered to the Siberian
frontier. The attempted suicide of Gen
eral Gessler was caused by unmerited
blame for sympathy with the plot against
the Gar.
All of the Cabinet Ministers are demon
allied and are vieing with each other in
originating repressive measures. The FL
nance Minister has just devised a regula-
ton which will require each Russian sub
iect to pay for passport to travel in for
eign countries 80 roubles in gold, and at
the rate of 10 roubles in gold month to
the end of the year, and for the second
q
measures of the Car Nicholas are to be
revived
The Russian ambassador at Vienna,
PObedonOozenel and Count Shouvaloff at
Berlin have just left for their respective
posts after long consultation with their
Imperial Master. Meanwhile the Gar re-
mains impassive and gives no signs of his
future policy, following apparently the
Russian prOverb that the future belongs to
him who knows how to wait.
Gladstone With the Coercion Bill.
LONDON, April 9th.-The anti-coercion
meeting to be held in Hyde Park Monday
promises to be the biggest outdoor political
meeting ever held in London. Gladstone
to-day issued to the miners of the north of
Great Britain, majority of whom are
enthusiastic followers of him, the follow
ing letter, which amounts to manifesto:
- L cannot refrain from calling your atten
ton to the meeting which is to be held i'll
Hyde Park next Monday, and to which L |
understand the tens of thousands of work
men of London intend generously to
devote their holiday. If ever there was |
time when it was to the interest of the |
IL,
this is the time. 1t is the first time when |
a coercion bill, if passed, is to be passed by |
the English vote alone against the voice of |
Scotland, Ireland and Wales 1t is about |
time when such bill will have to be passed |
under an action of the househoIders at |
large, who were never enfranchised before |
the last elections of 1885 and 1886. 1t is |
the first time coercion has been proposed |
without any attempt by the Ministry to
show what we know they cannot show-a
state of exceptional and fragrant or grow
ing crime. If England is to coerce Ireland
for crime, ireland can reply that relatively |
to population she has less crime than Eng
land. In my opinion the rejection of this
bill is even more needed by England than
by Ireland. For Ireland it is question of
and she knows how to suffer.
For England it is question of shame and
and to cast away shame and dis
honor is the first business of great nation.
In 1876 meeting of London workingmen
irst gave effectual force to the movement
20 Bulgaria which brought about the situa-
ion of 1880. May the meeting of next
Monday ring the death knell of the most
insulting and most causeless Coercion bill
submitted to Parliament
lord HartingtOn's Opinion.
LONDON, April 9th.-Lord Harrington
las written the following letter to Union
st meeting: cit is of great Importance
hat some answer should be given to the
lgitation which is being promoted against
measure necessary for the maintenance
If order in Ireland. 1t is doubtless to be
regretted that the Government is COM
oelled again to resort to coercive measures,
although Liberal statesmen have not
hrunk on former occasions from pro-
posing in similar circumstances legislation
If equal, if not greater severity. 1t is my
irm conviction that the desire which COM
'elled the Government to resort to this
policy is not spontaneous, and is not
mainly caused by redressed grievances. 1t
5 the result of the determination of some
eaders of the Irish people to prove that
he government of Ireland by the Parlia-
nent of the United Kingdom is impossible,
nd an attempt is being made to discredit
10Th remedial and repressive legislation.
n my judgment this attempt ought to be
rmly resisted by the Unionists, both Lib
raj and Conservative"
another Attempt to XIII the Gar.
